Overall Size and Dimensions

It is constructed of heavy-duty stainless steel that makes both rugged enough to handle a lot of use and still looks great sitting on the counter. At first glance, you are probably wondering if there would be enough clearance under your average kitchen cabinets when having it out on the counter. Unfortunately, you would need to plan ahead and have a place to use it if you don’t have high cabinets. It’s dimensions are 11.8” x 14.0” x 18.2” and that is with the lid closed, you would need to have more room to allow the top to be open.

Cost

This is definitely not your average food saver vacuum sealer, it comes with an extremely high price tag. While it has a big price tag, it is still designed for household use only according to the manufacturer’s website.

Warranty Information

Our Opinion

If you can get passed the initial shock of the price, the PolyScience 300 Series Chamber Vacuum Sealer is definitely worth the price. With the high cost of fresh meats and vegetables these days, being able to buy in bulk and store as much as you can in individual packages will help to stretch for food budget a whole lot longer.
